The Second Chance Hotel

Hey guys - this one was a fan request.  It's a reboot of an older story of mine.  As always, thanks for reading!  - Derek

------------------

We were stuffed into Michael’s station wagon, driving up to Oceanside.

It’s a small town on the west coast of Oregon. According to Michael’s cousin, it was a hidden gem. Amazing beaches, welcoming locals, and inexpensive hotels. We were all in our fourth year of university, looking for one last spring break.

Six more months and I’d be a coder in San Francisco, pulling down six figures a year. My friends were all in the sciences too, except for Jared who’s in math. Whatever happened, we were all headed towards fulfilling jobs and library-free nights.

“I don’t get the deal with this town,” I said, slouched in the passenger seat. Michael was driving, Chris and Jared were seated in the middle, and Dan was stuffed in the back with the suitcases.

“What’s not to get?” Michael asked. “Chaz says it’s the best. He went on vacation here and he loved it.”

“And why does your cousin have any credibility?” i asked. “Isn’t he a personal trainer or something?”

“So?” Michael said, sounding defensive. “Yeah, but he’s a really good one. He must be – he’s super buff. Besides, Chaz is the gay one in the family, and they don’t lie about a good party.”

“Is the town full of serial killers? I don’t see any other reason for a deal this good.”

“Relax Pete,” Jared said from behind us. “We’re on vacation. Maybe the last vacation we’ll ever have together.” Jared dropped his voice as deep as it went and looked at me with buggy eyes and a stuck out tongue. “I love you brah.”

“Oh fuck you,” I laughed, turning my eyes back to the map.

Eventually we found it, tucked too far off the interstate.

Chaz was right – it was picturesque. I also figured out why he’d loved his vacation – it seemed like most of the town was gay. Everywhere you looked there were men holding hands as they walked down the street. I don’t have a problem with that – you do you, but it’s not my thing.

Michael’s cousin must have loved it though. I have found the party people, and they live in Oceanside, Oregon.

Unfortunately, so do a couple thousand tourists. There are twelve motels and hotels in town, most of them right on the beach. Every single one of them had a ‘no vacancy’ sign.

“Shit, we should have made reservations,” Dan was complaining from the back. “It’s spring break, of course it’s all booked up.”

Michael just kept driving around with grim resolve.

“There’s got to be something,” he said. “Are you sure Maps doesn’t have anything else?”

“Sorry,” I shrugged. “We’ve driven past everything.”

“Hang on,” he said, pulling up to a park. There was a guy there shooting hoops, shirtless and sweating under the afternoon sunlight. He had pecs and abs that I’d never achieve, even if I went to the gym.

“Hey,” Michael called, stepping out of the car and walking toward the court.

“Oh, hey bro,” the tan jock said, catching the ball and spinning it on his finger. “Wanna play?”

“No, thanks,” Michael said. “We were wondering if there are any cheap spots to stay near here. All the motels on the beach are full up.”

“Have you tried The Second Chance?” he asked, glancing at us with a hungry look. “It’s not on any of the tourist maps, so it’s always got room. Plus it’s the best deal in town.”

“Where is it?” Michael said, a fleeting smile across his face.

--------------

When we pulled up in front of The Second Chance Hotel, we almost turned around and drove away. The place was in the middle of nowhere, at least five minutes from the rest of town and only accessible through a maze of side streets and laneways. It also looked like a haunted mansion.

No – scratch that – it was a haunted mansion. The whole place was an old manor house that must have been sliced up into rooms. As for haunted, the trees all bent like they were trying to stay away. I’m not superstitious, but this place could make me believe.

“I have a bad feeling about this place,” Chris said. “I know I’m a scientist, but this place spooks me right out.”

“Oh, come on,” Michael prodded. “We should at least check what it costs.”

“There has to be another option,” Jared complained. “We’ll drive to the next town.”

“Just a sec, I’m googling it,” Chris said. He spent a long thirty seconds tapping around on his phone before biting his lip. “Well... I guess we’re staying here guys,” he said. “Every place within a hundred miles is like three hundred bucks a night.”

“Let’s go inside and take a look,” I suggested. “There’s no reason to judge a book by it’s cover.”

There was some grumbling, but eventually we all got inside.

The place was shockingly posh inside, all wood panelling and stone countertops. No way this was in our price range. I rang the bell at the check-in desk and strummed my fingers while we waited.

“Hello,” said a young man, striding out from the back. Like everyone else in this town, he was well built and seemed friendly.

“We were wondering if you have any rooms?” I asked, self-conscious of how posh the place was. Maybe we’d be better off driving to the next town. Or all the way back to the university.

“Absolutely sir,” he said, flashing me a relaxed grin. “Are you guys up here for spring break?”

“Yeah,” I said. “So... y’know, whatever’s cheapest?”

“I’ve got you,” the clerk said. "I can give you two of our rooms for $50 a night each – that’s our special student discount.”

I glanced at the others. That was about half of what we budgeted for. Everyone was giving me a big ‘thumbs up’.

“We’ll take it,” I said. “Five nights, we’re here until Saturday.”

“Yes sir,” the clerk said, typing away at his computer. “Give me one moment, and then I’ll give you the tour and show you up to your rooms.”

“Sure thing.”

The clerk led us around the hotel. The restaurant and bar shared a patio that overlooked an incredible stretch of beach. The restaurant was quiet, just a couple of businessmen having a cup of coffee and chatting quietly. The bar was a little more lively – three or four tables, all guys that looked like they were on vacation.

“Hey boys!” the bartender called, giving us a head nod as we walked in. The guy was on the wrong coast – between the heavy gold jewelry, the deep tan, and the criminal amount of hair gel, he looked like he belonged in New Jersey. Total guido.

“DJ, these guys will be staying the week,” the clerk said, giving the bartender a wink. “Give ‘em the drink specials.”

“For sure,” he said in a thick Jersey accent. “We got beers for a buck each. Two bucks for a cocktail. Two bucks for shots. If you wanna fuck the bartender, that costs a twenty,” he joked with an obnoxious laugh.

“That’s unreal,” Chris said. “What’s the catch?”

“No catch. The owner is eccentric, and the locals keep us busy” DJ shrugged. “You guys want shots now? I make ‘em special for each guy, and the first one’s free.”

“Uh... maybe after we unpack,” Dan said. “Thanks.”

“For sure, come down anytime,” DJ said, turning away to check in with his other customers.

“Dude, did you just turn down free booze?” Michael asked, rolling his eyes at Dan.

“No, I said later. It’s like 3 PM. We don’t need to start drinking this early.”

“Spoilsport,” I said, sticking out my bottom lip. “It’s spring break. This isn’t early.”

The clerk led us up to our rooms. They were right next to each other and shared a wall. I hoped I wouldn’t hear Dan snoring all week – the guy went through six roommates in Freshman year.

I took the larger room, along with Chris and Jared. Michael drew the short straw and had to share with Dan. At least each of the rooms was large – ours had three queen sized beds and plenty of open space.

“Anything else you guys might need?” the clerk asked, handing over our keys.

“I think we’re good man,” Jared said. “Thanks.”

I slid him a ten – with the student rate and the cheap drinks, I was feeling rich.

I unpacked slowly. Like most 22 year old guys, I get horny a lot, and I hadn’t jerked off before we left the school. I waited for Chris and Jared to head down to the bar, then locked the door and pulled out my dick. Two minutes later, I was washing my hands and ready to relax.

Everyone else beat me downstairs. They were clustered around a table, chatting with DJ.

“Hey, you mus’ be Petah,” he said, giving me a slap on the shoulder. “Your buddies were jus’ tellin’ me you’re all brainiacs.”

I chucked.

“Wot? You don’t think you’re smahrt?” DJ asked, looking at me in mock surprise.

“No, we’re... yeah, we’re some of the top students at our school,” I said, trying to sound modest.

“Well, spring break is a bad time for smahrts,” he grinned. “How about we get the party started, huh? I’ll bring you those shots.”

“Sure man,” I said. “Thanks.”

He was back in thirty seconds carrying five shots. He handed them out, giving us each a careful look and picking one of the shots for us. I got an orange liquid with little gold flecks.

“Thanks man,” I said.

“Down ‘em,” he encouraged.

We all made eye contact – even Dan shrugged and picked his up. Mine went down light and sweet, like it was more sugar than booze.

“Alright boys,” DJ said with a grin. “Welcome to The Second Chance. Time for some beers, huh?”

He collected our shot glasses and returned to drop off the first five pints of the night.

We might be the smartest guys in school, but we're also just college guys. As the booze started flowing, so did the shit-talking and the bragging.

By the third beer, we were comparing our expected salaries after graduation – me and Dan figured we’d be at the top as software guys, then probably Michael and Chris making pretty good money working at some of the big pharmaceutical places. Jared’s was dead last as a math major, but he was thinking about heading to Wall Street, so who knows?

By beer number six or seven, we were calling out asshole profs and talking shit about girls we dated. Dan stayed pretty quiet for that – so far as I know, he’s never successfully asked a girl out. The rest of us get the occasional date, but Jared was the only one of us who’d had a girlfriend in college – she broke up with him when he kept getting high and talking about fractals.

As the evening went on the bar kept filling up, but we were so blurry we didn’t really notice. I remember stumbling to take a piss and realizing that like 90% of the bar was gay guys, and the whole place had an incredibly bro-ish vibe. I haven’t seen that many backwards hats and tank tops since I tried to rush a frat in my freshman year.

(You can probably guess, I didn’t get in.)

Sometime around 2 AM, DJ came by our table and told us it was time to pack it in for the night.

“What do we owe you?” Chris burped, fumbling with his wallet.

“Twelve bucks each,” he said. Then he pointed at me – “And sixteen for the heavy drinkah over here.”

We all pulled out cash and paid up. I was pretty shitfaced, so I just handed DJ my wallet and let him take whatever. Dude seemed pretty cool, even if he did give off douche vibes.

“G’night DJ,” I said, throwing my arm around him and squeezing.

“Night brah,” he laughed, giving my ass a playful swat.

“Dude,” I said, the world spinning when I tried to stand. “I’m nooooot gay.”

“I figured,” DJ said with a shrug. “But thought I oughta check.”

It took like half an hour to find our rooms.

———

The next morning my eyes felt like sandpaper. I struggled to open them, finding myself passed out on top of a bed, my shirt thrown to the side but my shoes still on.

“Mmmm...” I moaned in agony. "I haven’t drank that much in... fuck.”

I stood up. The room wasn’t spinning, but my stomach was nauseous and I craved fried food. Jared was already up and showered, reading his book and drinking from a mug. Chris was passed out in his bed – at least he’d managed to kick off his shoes and get under the covers.

“Hey man,” Jared said quietly. “I made coffee, and there’s water cups in the bathroom.”

I realized I could hear the shower running loudly in Michael and Dan’s room. That must have been what woke me. It was old plumbing and very loud – I was surprised Chris was still sleeping.

But whatever. That left our shower free. I went to the bathroom and drank three glasses of water, then climbed into the shower and let hot water flow over me. I’m not really one for long showers, so I hopped out after a few minutes, wrapped a towel around my bony hips, and went for the coffee.

I’d swallowed the first sip when a scream came through the wall.

Jared and I glanced at each other, then ran for our door. That was Michael’s voice, and he wasn’t exactly a loud guy. Jared pounded on his door, while I fumbled with my towel.

Someone unexpected answered the door.

“Oh, heeeeeey!” the mysterious little man said, waving us inside with a limp wrist. He was almost naked, only wearing a lime green thong. The guy was a contradiction – he had flowing blond hair that reached his shoulders, and a body so expertly waxed that he was totally smooth elsewhere.

“Uh...hi. Who are you?” Jared asked, even as the guy turned and walked away from us.

“It’s Dan!” Michael said, dressed only in a towel. “It’s Dan but... it's not Dan.”

There was no way it was Dan. Dan was short and chubby, this guy was at least 5’8” and his body was slim with a little bit of muscle. From our angle, we could see a bubble butt swallowing up the thong. Dan had a buzzcut, this guy's hair was at least ten inches long.

“Bro, it’s me!” the blond laughed at Michael. “But I'd like it if you called me Danny.”

“What happened?” I asked, wishing I’d had more coffee.

“I got out of the shower and...” Michael stopped and blinked. “And... Danny was chilling in bed, dressed like that!”

“Wait... it’s the outfit that’s throwing you?” Jared laughed.

“IT’S THE WHOLE THING,” Michael snapped.

“Bro, it’s not a big deal,” Danny said, shrugging and reaching into his luggage. He pulled out a tiny pair of terrycloth shorts and slid them up his legs. They barely covered his oversized ass and hugged his thighs tightly. “Look, okay? I put on pants.”

Chris stumbled into the room, looking worse for the wear.

“What’s going on?” he asked sleepily.

“Michael’s making a big deal out of nothing,” Danny said, pouting his lower lip. “I just decided to dress a little different today. I mean... we’re on vacation!”

“Who are you?” Chris asked, trying to understand.

“This is ‘Danny’,” Michael said, making air quotes. “Dan went through the looking glass and now he’s a.... I don’t even know!”

“I’m a hot surfer twink,” Danny said confidently, laying a hand on Michael’s bare chest. “And honey, if you wanna talk about fucking, maybe we should close the door.”

“Look at that ass...” Chris said, staring at Danny’s tight globes.

“Really Chris?” I said. “That’s what you’re taking out of this?”

“Why don’t we all go downstairs?” Danny suggested. “Get some brunch? I’m like... totally starving after last night. I should be totes hungover right now but... this is great!”

He ran his hand over his eight pack abs and gave us all an expectant look.

What were we going to do? Call the cops? Take him to the hospital? They’d search us for drugs, then laugh us out of town.

“Come’on guys,” Danny begged. “Brunch is like... my spirit animal.”

So we went for breakfast.

We were all nervous about Danny’s transformation. People don’t just turn into some swishy version of themselves overnight, do they? Had someone roofied him? Or maybe there was something in the water?

Despite our worry, we became mired in a sense of inevitability. After the initial shock wore off, I find myself accepting the idea of Danny far too readily.

We spent the day at the bar, downing beers like there was no tomorrow. It felt hopeless. We were all scientists, and there was nothing in the natural world that could explain Danny. We lived in dread, wondering if it would happen to us.

Except for Danny. Danny was up in the room, getting laid by some guy he had wolf whistled on the beach. Classic Danny.

I still remembered Dan, but I was starting to remember Danny.

Danny who was always watching Drag Race.

Danny who wore glitter lip gloss.

Danny who wrote exclamation marks with a little heart.

I was getting less freaked out by the hour, and that knotted my stomach even more.

“You guys gotta admit,” Chris told us over his eight beer. “Danny’s hot... you know, if you were into dudes... he’s like a walking sex dream.”

“Is there something you need to tell us Chris?” Jared asked with a condescending drip to his voice. “Because I don’t think I can handle this today.”

“Relax,” Chris said, finishing his beer.

When it came time to stumble upstairs, Michael practically begged Chris to swap beds with him. Chris gave in easily, taking a critical look at Danny’s ass. Sure, Danny was a fag, but Chris was shitfaced. We all tried to ignore it.

“Sure, whatever,” Chris said, swapping keys with Michael.

“Mmm, c’mon girl, let’s get you to bed,” Danny laughed, hanging off Chris’ skinny frame.

------------

“So, you think it’s like a werewolf?” Jared asked, stripping off his shirt before bed. “Maybe Chris is gonna be ‘Crissy’ in the morning or whatever.”

“I wish,” I said, rolling my eyes. “Then you just... don’t let them bite you. But Dan was alone in the room – who do you think got him?”

“Yeah... fair,” Jared said. “Okay, I’m gonna grab a shower before I hit the hay.”

“Whatever Jer,” Michael said. “Pete, did you see the way he walks?”

“Yeah... it’s like he’s prancing or something.”

“How can one guy be that big of a flamer?” Michael said, sitting on the side of his bed. “I mean... I’m not a homophobe or anything man, I just...”

“It's been a weird day,” I said.

There was a crash from the bathroom. Michael and I looked at each other in panic. I could feel my stomach sink. Instantly I knew – it had happened again.

“Hey Jer, you okay in there?” Michael called hopefully.

“Shit...” I said.

“Maybe he just hit his head?”

That’s when Jared came out of the bathroom. The new Jared.

He was like a foot shorter – Danny would look tall next to him. What he lacked in height, he’d more than gained in muscle. Jared was built like a brick shithouse, big rounded pecs overhanging a prominent six pack.

“Hey boys,” he said in a shockingly deep voice, turning to the side and sticking out his ass. Danny had redefined my idea of a big ass earlier, and Jared was doing it again. It looked like he’d stuffed a couple of melons under his towel. “I’ve got news..."

“Oh my god,” Michael said, resting his face in his hands.

“What’s wrong?” Jared said lightly. “You don’t like it? C’mon Michael, don’t be such a spoilsport!”

“I’m not being – you know what, fuck it, I don’t care,” Michael said angrily. “What happened to you?”

“Well... I was in the shower and then... suddenly now I’m Jett! It just happened!” he said, giving us an innocent shrug and dropping his towel on the floor. “Why, do you wanna join me?” he asked with a little shake of his plump ass. His cock was short but thick, and when he moved his ass it swung in the opposite direction like a metronome.

“No ‘Jett’, we do not want to join you,” Michael said, pulling on a pair of jeans.

“Oh come on,” Jett said with a coy smile. “Maybe you want me to suck you off? Or you can fuck this hole while I suck off Pete?”

“Dude, no!” I laughed.

“Come on in boys,” Jett said, giving his ass a slap and watching it tremble. “The water’s fine.”

It took forever to convince Jett to put on some clothes and follow us next door. I tried to use subtext, but Jett doesn’t really do subtext.

“Jett, buddy, remember that Danny is right next door, and Danny is far more likely to fuck you than we are.”

Forty seconds later, Jett was wearing a tight pink muscle shirt, blue jeans with ripped up knees, and a backwards ball cap.

“Okay boys, let’s gooooooo,” he said eagerly, playing with his commando cock through the rough fabric.

Chris – the same old Chris – answered the door, looking annoyed. We pretended not to notice that Danny’s sparkling lip gloss was all over his lips and neck.

“What?” he snapped.

“We’ve got a delivery,” I said grimly, pushing Jett in front of me. “Chris, Danny, this is Jett.”

“Fine and fuck-a-ble! Check out this himbo ass!” Jett shouted, letting his deep voice ring out down the hallway.

“Oh my god, honey!” Danny said, pushing in front of Chris. “Baby girl, you make such an awesome himbo! You wanna get fucked?”

“Come on man,” I said, tugging at Chris’ t-shirt until he finally came along with us. “These two are natural roommates.”

“Yeah...” Chris said, sounding a little disappointed. “Yeah, I’m just uh...”

“C’mon Chris,” I said.

I had a hard time getting to sleep. Between the fear and the sound of Danny’s bed frame pounding against the wall, it took me an hour to pass out.

I kept having these dreams about a wizard with a magic wand. He would come into our room and morph us into sissy fags like Jett and Danny. I woke up over and over, covered in a cold sweat, surprised to find my thin frame still intact.

-----------

Michael had already showered by the time I got up. He was lying in bed, reading a textbook on mental health issues.

“Anything relevant in there?” I asked, giving him a sleepy grin.

“Nope. Somehow they skipped the chapter on what happens if your buddies turn into gay sex icons.”

“What if it’s us?” I said, sitting up and giving him a worried look.

“What? Like we’re the crazy ones? No man, maybe I’d buy it if I was the only one seeing changes, but you and Chris are my lifelines.”

“Okay.”

“I’m gonna go wake up the fuckboy twins,” Michael sighed, using the nickname we jokingly called them at school. My memories were clashing – Jett and Danny, bringing dudes back to the residence at all hours, or Jared and Dan, pulling all nighters in the library.

I slipped into the shower, hoping that Jett had used up any potential magic. I let the hot water wash over me, trying to figure out what happened to my friends. Danny had been in the room, Jett had been in the shower. Danny had changed the morning after we arrived, Jett hadn’t transformed until the evening. Nothing seemed to line up.

I wrapped a towel around my waist and stepped back into the room.

“Seriously?” I groaned.

There was a naked man in the room, facing away from me and staring at himself in the full length mirror. He was built like a football player – thick and buff, without being cut. His hair was spiked up in that messy style that jocks seem to prefer. He was tan without any tan lines.

“Bro, check this shit out,” he said with a dumb laugh, raising his bicep for a quick flex.

“Chris, is that you?” I said, glancing at Chris’ empty bed.

The football player turned, giving me a huge grin. It was Chris, but just barely. He was still tall, but instead of his pipecleaner physique, his body had filled out – a lot. He looked like the supercharged quarterback of a pro football team. Athletic, but not cut like a model – this body was made for the field, not just a photo shoot.

His huge cock was sticking out of a hairy bush.

“Dude,” I winced. “Put that away.”

“Yeah, sorry bro,” Chris laughed, reaching into his beg and pulling out a pair of stretchy boxer briefs. He slid them up his thick legs, snapping the ‘Under Armour’ band around his waist.

“Look what happened man!” he said, overjoyed to share it with someone. “This is totally great!”

“Um...” I said, trying not to stare at his sizeable package.

“What’s wrong bro?” Chris asked, reaching down to adjust his bulge.

Luckily I didn’t have to answer. Danny’s voice came from behind me.

“Like, Oh Em Geeee!” Danny cried, running from the door and giving Chris a big hug. “You look sooooo good!”

“Hello boyfriend material,” Jett flirted, striding into the room.

Michael just rolled his eyes.

“Seriously Pete, I was gone for like... ten minutes,” he groaned. “Alright ‘bro’, what’s your name?”

“Ha... yeah, my friends call me Tucker,” said the hunked out version of Chris. “You should know that! You’re my bros!”

Tucker laughed with the loudest and most vacuous laugh I’ve heard in my life.

“Mmm... Mister All-American Boytoy,” Jett said, rubbing his hands over Tucker’s pecs.

“I’m gonna fuck you so hard brah,” Tucker said, reaching down and squeezing Jett’s melons.

“Don’t forget about me!” Danny said, reaching to fondle Tucker’s cock.

“Okay, that’s enough!” Michael interrupted. “You two are such fucking sluts.”

“Mmmm – jealous?” Danny asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Guys, let’s just go get some breakfast,” I suggested.

“Yeah,” Tucker rumbled. “C’mon guys, I could use a minute.”

Michael escorted the fuckboy twins downstairs while Tucker and I got dressed. I put on some cargo shorts and a t-shirt, while Tucker dressed pretty much the same. Dressed in board shorts, a crew neck t, and a pair of flip-flops, he really did look sorta normal.

Of course, the t-shirt was so tight you could see his nipples, but nobody’s perfect.

The whole walk down to the lobby, Tucker rambled on about football, beer, and getting ass. It seemed like all he talked about were those three subjects. I doubt he thought about anything else.

“Dude, gimme bacon and eggs and a bud,” he said, shoving the menu into DJ’s hands at breakfast.

“Sure thing hot stuff,” DJ said with a grin. He glanced over at Michael and me, giving us both a curious look.

“What?” Michael snapped. “We’ve ordered.”

Yesterday there had been four normal guys at breakfast and one oversexed surfer. Today it was three to two, and the conversation reflected that. Michael and I were two straight nerds in a group of horny gay guys – I was surprised at how well we got along.

We’d all been friends for years, that memory stayed the same. But all the details were different.

Did we get into the honour society with Chris?  Or did we cheer for Tucker at his first college game.

Were Friday nights D&D? Or had I been dragged to a hundred strip shows at the local gay bar.

Hell, I remember defending Danny that time the rugby team shouted fag.

Finally the three sex-obsessed homos took off to toss a football around the beach. I nursed a beer with Michael, sitting at the bar and giving our regular table a break.

“Why aren’t we calling the doctors?” I asked.

“And tell them what? Our friends are turning gay, popular, and hot?”

“We have to tell someone.”

Michael grimaced.

“There’s nobody to tell,” he said, taking a long drink of his beer.

We sat there for a long moment, watching Tucker run around shirtless on the beach, dodging and weaving while Danny and Jett tried to take a football from him. Every time it ended in a dog pile they both got a kiss and started again.

“Would it really be so bad?” I asked. “They seem happy.”

“You can’t think like that,” Michael said, shaking his head. “We can get through this.”

“Maybe we should leave?”

“And abandon our friends?” Michael shook his head again. “Besides, I tried this morning. The road leads right back here. There’s something magic about this place Pete, and I don’t think we can leave until checkout time.”

“If we can leave at all...” I said softly.

“Yeah.”

We drank our beers for a while, watching DJ watch us.

“I’ve been trying to find the pattern,” I finally said. “I double majored in comp-sci and physics, but I can’t find the pattern.”

“It’s getting more extreme,” Michael suggested.

“Yeah?”

“Yeah. Danny’s a pretty normal guy,” he said. “I think I know a few gay guys at school like him. And Jett’s a horny bastard with a ridiculous ass, but he could have gotten there naturally if he tried. But Tucker? Man, he’s prime beef. Whatever fucked with him, it was at the genetic level.”

“So what’s that mean for us?” I asked nervously. “You think we’re gonna be even more extreme?”

“I don’t know,” Michael said. “The gay guys I know at school, they’re all guys who happen to like dick. But these three are all like characters out of a porno.”

“You watched a lot of gay porn, have you?”

“Shut up.”

“So what do you think?” I asked anxiously. “You and me are gonna be strippers? Drag queens?”

“I’m more worried about leather daddies,” Michael chuckled.

He glanced towards the other end of the bar and motioned with his head. There were two guys in neon stringer tanks on the other side, bulky muscle corded across their body, their hair shaved into tight wedges and dyed platinum blond. One was slightly bigger, buffer, and blonder than the other.

“Hey, look at those two,” Michael said. “Weren’t they business guys when we checked in?”

“Not anymore,” I said with a sigh. I glanced away – they were glancing back at us, whispering and giggling like schoolgirls.

“Pete! Michael!” Jett shouted, his voice booming out behind us. “Let’s grab some grub!”

Michael clicked his glass against mine.

“Once more unto the breach, dear friend” he said, downing the last of his pint.

---------------

We ordered lunch – burgers for me and Michael, steak and eggs for Tucker, grilled chicken for Jett, and a garden salad for Danny.

“So Tucker, we never asked,” Michael said cautiously. “What were you doing when you transformed?”

“Oh shit brah, you’re still on that?” Tucker laughed. “I dunno bro, I was just lying in bed, thinking about Jett and Danny. Then, y’know, unf – here I am.”

“Yeah,” said Michael, chewing slowly on his burger.

“You want me to take you upstairs?” Tucker asked hopefully. “Maybe show you how it goes?”

“Nah, I’m good,” Michael said. “Thanks.”

“Anytime bro,” Tucker grinned.

Then the conversation was back to football. Which quarterback had the hottest ass? If any two players were gonna date, who would you pick? And most importantly, did anyone watch the halftime show this year?

“Hey guys, I’m gonna run up and have a nap,” Michael said, pushing his plate away. “I didn’t sleep too well last night.”

“You need a massage?” Jett asked, cracking his knuckles. “A nice... sexy... massage...”

“No, I just need to lie down for a few minutes,” Michael said wearily. “Maybe we can hit up the beach when I get back.”

Michael headed for the stairs while Danny lit up and started talking.

“Oh my god, I was talking to Ricky and –“

“Wait, who’s Ricky,” I interrupted.

“Uh, he’s like... that hottie of a desk clerk,” Jett laughed. “He’s like... such a good fuck.”

“Tell me everything,” Danny said, leaning in. “Wait no – I was talking to Ricky, and he told me that if you walk down the beach a little, like past that rocky bit, it turns into a nude beach!”

“Seriously?” Tucker said, scratching his heavy chest. “I could be into that. How private is it?”

“Apparently it’s like... totally busy sometimes.”

“We should go.”

“Yeah brah, I’d be into that.”

My gay friends bantered back and forth for a while. I sort of zoned out and just ate my hamburger.

“Oh my god,” Danny said, slapping Tucker on the arm. “Check out the HOTTIE!”

I turned and looked behind me. There was a man walking down the stairs with a confident smile, dirty blond hair, and a ridiculous jawline. His muscles were big and cut, the result of countless hours in a gym. His sizeable package was stuffed into a red speedo. The only thing that threw off his perfect symmetry was the phone he had gripped in one hand.

“Hey bros,” he said in a smooth voice, pulling out Michael’s chair and taking a seat.

“Oh my god,” Danny said, slapping Tucker on the arm again. “It’s Michael!”

“Mikey,” the statue of a man said automatically. “Follow me @MikeyLikesToParty.”

I glanced down and noticed that his speedo was mostly mesh, the only solid panel attempting to cover his dick. Unfortunately for the speedo, Mikey was so hard that it was stretched to the limit.

“So... can we go to the beach?” he asked earnestly. “I need to work on my tan. And maybe one of you can take a few pics for my feeds?”

“I gotcha bro,” Jett said, giving the speedo clad influencer a wide grin.

I was starting to remember details about Mikey. His life sounded exhausting – marketing major, instagram influencer, amateur bodybuilder, and all around narcissist. Where the old Michael had been a thoughtful and well-read friend, this bro was all about image.

“C’mon, let’s go to the nude beach!” Danny cheered.

“Guys, I think I’m gonna hang back,” I said. “I’m feeling a little tired too. Maybe I’ll take a nap.”

“Really bro?” Jett said, looking excited. “What do you need... like five minutes?”

“No, I actually need a nap,” I said, an uneasy feeling in my stomach. What was Jett saying? What did he think I was going to do?

What had Michael done?

“C’mon bro, don’t be like that,” Mikey said, throwing a heavy arm around my shoulders. “Let’s go catch some rays. #permenantvacation.”

The conversations as we walked down the beach were unreal.

“I’m telling you Danny, you bulk up a little, you’re gonna be famous,” Mikey said.

“Ugh,” Danny answered. “And ruin my figure!? No way, I don’t need to be covered in muscle – my bubble butt does all the advertising I need!”

They’d both laugh. Mikey would call Danny a whore, Danny would call Mikey a beast, and Jett would slip his hand into his designer bathing suit and play with his cock. Tucker just kept giving us earful after earful of his dumbass laughter.

I spent all day hanging out with the cast of ‘Sluts in the City’, and there was no-one else to turn to.

Mikey took so many pictures.

----------------------

I didn’t get any choice in the sleeping arrangements. Mikey and Jett took a bed in the big room, Tucker and Danny went to the smaller one. I would have preferred a room to myself, but they weren’t thinking of me. So I had to put up with Mikey pounding Jer’s ass in the bed next to mine. I could hear Tucker doing the same to Danny – from the sound of it, they were both having quite a lot of fun.

I needed to be anywhere but there.

I slipped on some clothes and let myself out of the room quietly. The whole hotel was full of moans and screams, ecstasy behind almost every door. I wondered about the quiet ones – were the rooms empty, or had they found a way to resist?

The bar was closed, but DJ was still there, doing inventory.

“Hey,” I said, pulling out a barstool. “Do you mind if I sit here for a while? My roommates are fucking each others brains out.”

DJ popped open a beer and slid it along the bar to me. Then he popped open one of his own and leaned a few feet away.

“That sounds frustratin’ bro,” the Jersey muscle head said with empathy.

“This place is fucked up,” I said.

“Is it?” he asked. “I mean... all your friends, they were nerdy and sad. Now they’re gettin’ their secuhnd chance. Says it righ’ on the sign.”

“Yeah. Use a bigger font next time,” I said, taking a deep drink from the bottle.

“You’re not the first guy to sugges’ it,” DJ laughed.

“I don’t like what they’ve turned into - a bubbly twink… a slutty himbo… Mister Boytoy himself and a dumbass narcissist. None of those is my idea of a good life. I’m... I’m not just going to give up and become a gay whore!”

DJ waited, daring me to say more.

“Look dude, I’m smart! I’m confidant and brilliant and I have the whole world in front of me! I have job offers piled up on my desk back home. I've got a future… these freaks are living today and nothing else. This place obliterated their futures and their braincells!”

“Why don’t you tell me what’s really goin’ on?” DJ asked, giving me that look all bartenders know.

“I... I don’t recognize my friends anymore,” I sighed. “Except I do. I remember them all. All the football games and the club nights and the drag race marathons. But none of that shit actually happened.”

“Who says?” DJ asked, taking a pull from his bottle. “Their lives seem pretty real ta me.”

“Yeah, well, I don’t want to join them,” I said. “Except...”

DJ just let that hang there for a long ten seconds.

“Excep’ maybe, I think you do.”

“Except maybe I do,” I admitted. “I was at the beach with them today. They were stupid and horny and... every single one of them is having the time of their lives.”

“Yeah,” DJ said, replacing my beer with a fresh one. “Besides bro, you don’t have a choice. This whole thing? It’s inevitable.”

I looked DJ over. The tight clothes, the swollen muscles, the impossibly deep tan.

“Are you just another victim?” I asked, biting my lip.

“Nah bro,” he said, flashing a grin. “I’m the guy who makes it happen.”

“Yeah?” I said, resigned. “Who made you god?”

“Nobody bro, but I made the shots,” he laughed. “Remember? First day here? I made you all a shot, special for each of you. Ever since then it’s just been a slow burn... you already had the shot man, all that’s lef’ is the triggah.”

I felt sick to my stomach. I looked at the bottle in my hand.

“Relax bro,” DJ said. “I’m done for the day. This is just beer between frien’s. You and me, we’re gonna be good frien’s. Real good frien’s.”

“What’s the trigger?” I asked.

“Well bro, it’s simple. Once you got a shot, all you gotta do is cum. See, I mix the shots for each guy – put in a little bit of sluttiness, a little bit of muscle... what you getta decide is how much. The longer you go bro, the more extreme the consequences. Isn’t that what you and Mikey figguhed out the other day? Don’t lie to me bruh, I was standing righ’ here.”

“Yeah, I guess,” I said. “This is so weird.”

“Your bro Danny only lasted a night before he cummed, so he’s a pretty vanilla twink. Knows he’s hot and dresses the paht, but you can find twenty dudes like him in any gay bar. Boring.”

“So if he’d waited longer, he’d be even more of a twink?” I asked.

“Hell yeah bro, another day and he’d have been doin’ yoga in pink spandex. That’s not an exaggeration – I did up a guy like that last year.”

“So you sort of count on that,” I said. “You want us to wait.”

“Whatever bro, doesn’t effect me. I’ve seen dudes check out of here barely bi. Most everyone ends up a dedicated cocksucker though. Your group bro, you boys are seriously repressed,” he chucked. “Or at least you use’ ta be.”

“So Jett lasted a little longer,” I said, piecing it together.

“Yeah, he was bragging to me about it. Rubbed one out in the showah. He lasted long enough that he’s a pretty hot himbo now – any job tha’ he wants, so long as it’s dancin’. He’s not even dumb, I didn’t put any dumb in his shot. He just thinks about cock so much, there’s no room for anything else.”

“So all I have to do is avoid cumming,” I said thoughtfully.

“But you’re not gonna,” the bartender laughed. “Every dude cums. Even if you cage it up, or you have the discipline to never touch your dick again... bro, you’re gonna have a wet dream or something. Men cum. That’s why we exis’.”

“That’s not fair,” I said.

“Your boy Tuckuh – I saw the way he was looking at Danny’s ass. Dude must have been vibratin’. I bet he waited til he was alone for a SECON’ and pulled the chain,” he laughed. “But it took him a while, so now he’s your basic slutty jock. Lotsa muscle, lotsa confidence, not too much happenin’ upstairs. A day earlier, maybe he’s just an athlete who likes to fuck bros."

“You almost got him the night before,” I said. “If Jett hadn’t bust a nut so soon... I’m pretty sure Danny was about to get Tucker off.”

“Yeah,” DJ shrugged. “That’s how normal guys do it. Two bros share a room, one jerks off and gets reborn, the other one gets sucked off within the hour. I’m not lying bro, you’re all way too repressed.”

“And Mikey figured it out,” I said, realizing what he’d done. “He knew it’d get more extreme, so he gave up and gave in.”

“Yeah bro, you know that nap was jus’ an excuse to explode the volcano!” DJ laughed. “I gotta han’ it to him, that’s a brave thing, tossin’ the coin like that. But almost two days in? Dude’s fuckin’ obsessed with his Insta now.”

“So if I cum... when I cum...” I said, still trying to figure a way out. “The longer I wait, the more extreme it’ll be. If I cum tonight, maybe I’m a gogo boy. I cum a week from now, I’m a queer rights activist in San Francisco.”

“Nah bro, you’re missing it,” DJ said. “Your bros... Mikey was always gonna be a show-off, that’s the shot I mixed for him. But if he’d tugged it a day soonah? Maybe he’d just be posting’ every vacation photo. A day latah? I bet he’d do cam shows.”

“Okay...” I said. “So what shot did you mix for me?”

“For you, I put togetha somethin’ really special. It’s kinda the family recipe. Little bit of turnpike, little bit of Springsteen. Lotsa muscle. Little bit of gold dust, right on the top. You’re gonna be like me brah,” he grinned. “You’re gonna be a Jersey boy.”

“You made me a fuckin’ guido?” I asked incredulously.

“Hey, that’s up to you. Maybe you jerked off the first day like a normal boy, maybe you’d be Catholic on the holidays, put a little more care in the hair. But it’s been a while bro... let’s just say you’re never gonna move to Man’attin.”

“What’s the longest you’ve ever seen?” I asked. “Before a guy...”

“Six days,” DJ answered without thinking. “Bro came in here to get away from his cheating wife. I figured I’d help him pick up some new meat. I mixed up a l’il muscle, a l’il sex drive, a little bit of kink... anyway, he’s out on a private islan’ now, a freak show muscle slave for one of our more... successful guests.”

I laid my head against the cold wood of the bar.

“You wanna anotha’ beer?” DJ asked.

“I think I better go upstairs,” I said slowly, realizing exactly what Mikey did at lunch. The sooner this was done...

“You don’t gotta go upstairs,” DJ said. “How’s about you do it right here.”

“Isn’t that a little gay?” I asked. “These are my last five minutes as a straight man, maybe I should have a little dignity?”

“Wha’? You gonna go upstairs, watch two homos fuck until you blow yah load?” DJ asked. “Explain to me how that’s supposed ta be more dignified.”

“I guess it’s not.”

“Unzip,” DJ said. “Go ahead. There ain’t nobody here but yew and me.”

I unzipped my shorts and let them drop to the bottom of the bar stool. Then I reached inside my underwear and gave my cock a hesitant tug. It hadn’t been touched for days, so I was ready to go. I closed my eyes and tried to picture a woman.

“Who you gonna think a?” DJ asked.

“Dude, you’re not making this easier.”

“Don’t think of some chick,” the bartender insisted. “Think a the first time you’re gonna get cu’ off by a cab. What you gonna scream?”

“Fuck you,” I grunted, rubbing my dick.

“How about you’re at the gym, some preppy asshole takes the last bench. What you gonna say?”

“Fuck you,” I grunted, feeling precum leaking from the end of my dick.

“How about some rich prick tries to steal your cash,” he said. I felt his arms wrap around from behind me, his hands closing on my rod.

“Fuck you,” I moaned, feeling his callouses as he pumped my cock.

“Whaddaya say –“

“Fuck you!” I interrupted. “Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuuuuu..uuu..fuck yew!” I screamed. I shot my load across the room, relaxing into DJ’s hairy arms.”

“Shit bro, that was hawt,” I moaned.

I stood up, unsteady on my feet. Why weren’t there any fuckin’ mirrors in this bar? Wait... there’s one, behind the bar.

I looked amazing. My chest was waxed and heavy italian muscle covered my body. I glanced down – there were a pair of orange board shorts on the floor, and I was wearing a black pair of briefs on my hairy legs. In the mirror I could see myself, my gelled up hair and gold chains reflecting in the dimmed lighting. A diamond stud glinted in my ear.

“Waddahyah call yourself?” DJ asked, stepping close behind me. “You don’t look like a Petah no more.”

“Nah bro, I’m a Primo,” I grinned.

First time in my life, I understood exactly who I was.

I was a guido.

A muscled up stud.

An Italian stallion. First to the party, last one to sleep.

“You gotta room?” I asked, spinning around and giving him a hard kiss.

“Yeah,” DJ said, licking his lips. “There’s a key fo' the sta–“

“Bro, shaddup,” I said, kissing him til he was quiet. “Just fin’ us a bed.”

------------------

I slammed DJ against the wall, grinding my cock into his, hands on the sides of his face, kissing like my life depended on it.

Fuck I was horny. I fumbled with my shorts, finally getting the button undone and letting them drop to the floor. Then I shoved my underwear down too, leaving me naked except for hair and jewelry.

“Fuck yeah,” DJ laughed, pulling off his black tank. He was kicking off a tight pair of ripped up jeans. I grabbed the elastic of his boxer-briefs, tagging them down his hairy legs.

“Mmmmph,” I said, taking his cock down my throat.

“Oh fuck yeah,” DJ said, sticking his hand into my gelled up hair. Fuck, I hate it when bros touch my hair, but I was too turned on to care. I sucked hard, taking in the sweaty musk of his balls and bush.

“I’ve been waitin’ for this all week,” DJ moaned.

Bro talks too much. I slapped his ass, never taking my glossy lips off his thick guido cock.

“I though’ you was nevah gonna jerk off,” DJ laughed. I glanced up – he was staring at my muscled up body with an insane grin.

Bro thinks too much. I flexed my biceps at him, proud of my roided up body.

I popped my lips off his cock and stood up.

“Ge’ on the bed,” I ordered, kissing him again. Fuck, I loved the way our chests mashed together. “I wanna fuck you bro.”

Then DJ was bent over the bed, his hairy ass lined up for my epic cock. I didn’t have lube, but we’re both so covered in tanning oil it didn’t really matter.

“Ge’ ready fuh a Primo fuhk,” I grinned, chuckling at my own catchphrase.

I pushed in, loving the squeeze of his cheeks against my stallion cock.

“Fuck tha' feels good,” I grunted, making him moan under me. I pounded his hairy ass, watching it shudder with each thrust.

“Fuckin’ take it,” I yelled. “Fuckin’ take my thick guido dick!”

“Do it bro!” he shouted back. “Cum in my ass!”

“Unnnnnf!” I screamed, releasing my load into him. Underneath me, DJ was pumping his cock like a maniac, spewing his own load onto the bed.

Then we collapsed, just a pile of sweaty muscle and hair gel.

---------------

“Hey bro,” DJ said, giving me a lustful look. My cock stared to get hard again. Fuck yeah, time for another ride.

“No time for that,” he said, laughing at my eager cock. “This is what I love about the repressed guys... once you peel away all the bullshi’, they’re insatiable.”

“Wha’?”

“You’re always down ta fuck,” DJ grinned. I don’t understand like half what that guy says, but he got that part right.

“Come on, I’ve gotta open the bar at noon,” DJ said, pointing at the clock. It was only like 10:30... plenty of time. “C’mon, your buddies gotta be worried.”

I pulled on yesterdays shorts and tucked my briefs in the back pocket, making sure they hung out a little. DJ slipped on his shirt and jeans. His ass was so fuckable, squeezed into the tight denim. I trailed a few steps behind him, enjoying the view.

I used my key and let us into the room. My bros were all gathered there, giving me a confused look when DJ and me walked in.

“Hey,” Tucker said, instantly taking charge. “Have you guys seen Pete? We can’t find him anywhere.”

“Shaddup bro,” I grinned, tapping myself on my thick chest. “Petuh’s gone, but it’s all good. You can’t break this bond.”

Danny lit up, realizing what was happening.

“Bro, are you...” Mikey asked, looking up from his phone.

“I’d like you to mee’ yuh formerly straigh' roommate,” DJ said. “This is Primo.”

“FUCK YEAH!” Mikey yelled, jumping up and down excitedly.

“Mmmmph!” Jett whooped. “Italian Stallion!”

“All the way bro,” I grinned, spinning him and pushing my cock against his crack.

“About time!” Danny cheered.

“Get cleaned up,” DJ ordered me, pulling me away from Jett’s ass. “We gotta go downstairs. It’s time you met the managuh.”

But you can’t rush this shit. Half an hour later, I put the finishing touches on my hair and gave one last blast of Axe.

I looked damn good. Neon board shorts and a black tank. There was a drawing of a rooster on the tank – the words above it read “I stayed at the SECOND CHANCE”, then below “and all I got was this HUGE COCK!”

“Let’s make this quick,” I told DJ. “I wanna hit the beach."

------------------

DJ knocked on the manager’s door softly.

“Yes?” we heard a voice call from inside. He had a strong german accent.

“One second,” DJ told us, putting his hand flat on my chest. “Wait heuh.”

He ducked inside the office and we heard two accents going back and forth. Then the door swung open and we were waved into a large office. DJ stood grinning by the door, while a muscle daddy in his 50’s sat behind a fancy desk.

“Hello,” he said, standing as we entered. “My name is Martin. I’m the manager of The Second Chance.”

“Hi Martin,” Tucker said, stepping forward and assuming control. “I’m Tucker. This here is Jett, Danny, Mikey, and uh... Primo. Sorry, still getting used to that one.”

“Yes, I know who you are,” the manager said, pointing to a bank of monitors on the wall. “We have cameras everywhere here, and you boys have been hard to miss.”

I stuck my chest out proudly.

“I think that fate led you to my hotel,” Martin said, re-taking his seat. “You see, I’ve been building a gay utopia out here in Oceanside. Most of the men who comes through here, they change and then go back to some version of their old lives. It’s just a vacation. But a few men are offered permanent residency.”

“What’s that?” Jett asked, distracted by the monitors.

“It means we get to stay dummy,” Danny said, rolling his eyes.

“Well... not quite,” the manager said gently. “Only one of you has been sponsored for residency. Primo, would you step forward?”

I stepped up, but it felt like a kick to the gut. What was going on? Why was it just me?

“Do you accept my offer?” Martin said, fixing me with his steely eyes.

“Uh... I can’t,” I said glancing back at my bros. “These are muh bros, I can’t ditch ‘em. It’s all of us or none of us.”

Martin smiled. I liked the way he smiled. I wondered how he’d look pinned down by my cock.

“I told yew,” DJ said from behind us.

Martin tilted his head and gave DJ a little smile.

“Okay boys, then it’s an offer for all of you,” he said. “Do you all want to stay?”

“Hell yeah!” Tucker shouted.

“Totally,” smirked Danny.

“Uh... yeah!” Jett laughed.

“#Yes,” Mikey joked.

“That’s all of us,” I grinned. “Yeah brah, we wanna stay.”

“Wonderful,” the manager said. “DJ will see you out. You’ve got one last night as my guests – please indulge – the drinks are on me.”

“Wait...” Danny said. “What about school? I’m almost done my fashion degree!”

“Yeah, and I gotta work at my Dad’s garage after I graduate,” I admitted.

“Don’t worry your pretty little heads about a thing,” Martin said with confidence. “I’m in the reality shaping business.”

------------------

DJ opened up the bar and we piled inside.

“Bro, let’s do shots,” I suggested, signalling DJ. He came over with five shots of whiskey.

“Nothing in these ones, right lovuhboy?” I joked.

“Don’t worry, these ones are clean,” DJ chuckled. I barely listened to the answer, I was so distracted by his ass.

Tucker grabbed a shot and raised it towards us.

“To my bros,” he said.

“Yeah bros!” I cheered. Around me, my bros were all chorusing Tucker’s words. Then we downed the shots and got the party started.

I won’t lie, it got pretty blurry.

I remember arm-wrestling with Tucker, a crowd from the bar cheering us on.

I remember laying on the beach, smoking a joint with Danny.

I remember sucking off Mikey in the bathroom. He filmed the whole thing.

I remember Jett looking at me with crazy eyes and a stuck out tongue, screaming “I love you brah!”

I remember dancing with my bros, bouncing up and down to heavy beats so fast the bar floor was creaking under us.

“Okay guys,” DJ said sometime after midnight. “Last call. Here it is – permanent residency. You drink this shit and jerk off, tomorrow morning you’re here to stay.”

He put five glowing pink shots down on the table. They looked radioactive. But Tucker didn’t hesitate.

“To my bros,” Tucker said, grabbing a shot. “Together forever.”

“Togethuh forevuh!” we shouted.

I downed the last shot, feeling a wave of lust wash over me.

We stumbled upstairs, all five of us into the bigger room. My bros all piled into one bed, a tangle of muscle and lust and sweat. I felt Jett’s hand on my cock, pumping as the precum leaked down my massive cock. I reached out and found Tucker’s pole, giving him the same treatment.

We coated each other in cum.

--------

I woke up to the sound of surf crashing against the shoreline. My hand wandered to my cock as my eyes peeked open.

I was in a house – somewhere on the beach. The bed was a mess of sheets, bright sunlight pouring through the window. I was dressed in nothing but a pair of silky black briefs. DJ was sprawled out next to me, wearing even less.

I glanced at the clock. Six AM. He wouldn’t be up for hours, not with the shifts he pulls.

I stood up quietly, stepping lightly as I moved toward the closet. I pulled on a pair of white shorts and a bright pink tank top. That shit looks sick against my olive skin. I grabbed a ball cap and slipped it over my greasy hair.

I slipped on my kicks and eased open the door.

“Hey babe,” DJ groaned, turning over and opening one eye.

“Mornin’ lovuhboy,” I grinned, crawling onto the bed and giving him a kiss despite his nasty breath. “Go back ta bed. I gotta lift.”

“Mmmm... you’re not too freaked ou’?” DJ asked. “It’s a big change, wakin’ up in a new life.”

“Bro, you jerked me into a slutty guido,” I laughed, standing up and rubbing my cock through my workout shorts. “All I gotta deal wit’ today is havin’ a hot boyfriend and a swee’ youse.”

“Mmmm, yah,” DJ moaned, flexing his ass. “Get home soon bro, I work at noon.”

“Yeah, well I gotta open the garage at ten,” I said. “Don’t worry brah, I’ll fuck tha’ ass first.”

-----------------

The months flew by and soon the summer was coming to an end. I was under a car at the garage when two preppy looking guys walked in.

“God, look at this place,” one of them complained. “What a shithole.”

I rolled out from under the car.

“Hey boys,” I said, wiping my hands on my t-shirt. I wear a classic look at work, coveralls tied at the waist, and a tight white crewneck to cover my bulky pecs. “Wha’ can I help yew with?”

“Hey,” said the one wearing a suit jacket. “We blew a tire on our car, had to limp here from the interstate. Can you take a look?”

“Yeah, no worries,” I said. “Lead on.”

Their car was outside. It’s a BMW, not a problem. I carry spare tires in the back.

But... these two were assholes. I glanced at their hands – smooth and soft.

“Sorry guys, I’ll havta get a tire from the warehouse,” I lied. “But I can have yew on the road tomorrah mornin’.”

“Aw fuck,” the suit said. “Can you have it early? We’ve got a meeting in Seattle at noon.”

“Yeah, I can promise it by... six AM?” I offered.

That should be more than enough time for these guys to learn some blue collar skills.

“Yeah, okay,” the other one said. “Is there a hotel here that’s not a total shithole?”

“Yeah,” I grinned. “Yew shoul’ stay at ‘The Secon’ Chance’ – it’s this beautiful old mansion. Just up the road.”

“Fine, whatever,” the suit said, tossing me his car keys. “Get it fixed.”

“C’mon boys,” I said, walking them around to my Camero. “Lemme give yew a ride.”
